Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner failed to meet the required minimum of three evidentiary criteria. While the petitioner met the criteria for authorship of scholarly articles and judging the work of others, the AAO concluded he did not establish that his original contributions were of major significance to the field. The evidence showed his research was a basis for comparison but did not establish that it stood out as particularly impactful or was widely adopted.
